14.25 A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity , in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance and pushed towards the centre with a velocity at time t = 0. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters and .
[Hint : Start with the equation x = a cos ( t + ) and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

The displacement equation for an oscillating mass is given by : x = Acos ( , where
A = the amplitude
x = the displacement
Velocity, V = = -A t +
At t = 0, x = , = ….(i)
And = = A …….(ii)
Squaring and adding, we get
, A =
